Goodbye Earth

Folder: 
Crumbling Planet

.

Blue green marble,

travel-memories heavy,

aged. Come, yawn,

fade. Eras as epics

tell old tales of time.

A point reaches us

and our histories are

written in skin, etched

in ashes. A day afuture

time will stop and no

one will hum our song.

Almost ethereal in its beauty, heart-shattering in its reality and monumental as a elegy for our one and only home. I'm hoping that you're looking far into the future, but at the rate we're hastening the Earth's decline, who knows? 

 

Each line is shaped, superbly, by your concern for humanity and the living planet that spawned "our histories . . . / written in skin, etched/ in ashes." 

 

A compact epic.
